We've finally gotten some good weather. It's been a verrrrrrrry long winter and I hope that it's behind us. It's great when we can finally get the kids outside, get the garden planted and run off some of that built up winter energy...although I could do without the lawn mowing. Spring also means Niclas' birthday and we were again blessed with a sunny day for the day of his party. We were lucky to have Chris in town right before Niclas' birthday so we got to get together with her a couple of times before she headed back east. We all enjoyed visiting with her. We went to dinner at Chuck E. Cheese on the night of his birthday with just the family. Having now experience Chuck E. Cheese, i.e. HELL, I don't really see us going back. The kids had a great time though. We had a birthday party for him and his friends on Sat 5/16 and we rented a bounce house. I'm always amazed at the amount of energy kids have. I think they were in the bounce house for nearly 6 hours straight, stopping only long enough to have cake and ice cream and open presents. Quentin, Carlin and Lisa stayed the night so the party carried on into the evening. Not a bad day at all.
